The Internet is a great research tool, and we do encourage you to use it for that purpose.

Often clients ask why they should book through Dive Fish Snow Travel rather than booking it themselves online. They mistakenly think that cutting out the middle man will make it cheaper, the thinking being that we make our cut by adding fees on top. This is not true.

You get the Best Deals: Resorts, accommodation providers and airlines (except Air New Zealand) pay us a commission for sending you to their Resort. This commission comes out of their pocket - not yours. It comes out of their profit on accommodation and lift pass packages, and is not a fee added on top. So the end cost is the same, if not cheaper, when you buy it through us.

The bottom line is, it isn’t cheaper booking your holiday yourself, online. If you want the best deals, the best advice, the best skiing and a hassle free holiday, you won't always get that from trawling the Internet. You need to talk to a professional - and that is Dive Fish Snow Travel.

You Benefit from our buying power

As we book hundreds of ski holidays for skiers and boarders to resorts each year, and the operators want us to continue sending them business, they offer us specials not available anywhere else.  By giving us a “pay 6 nights and get 1 or 2 extra nights free” or “pay for a 6 day lift pass and get a 7th day free”, they become more competitive. We pass those specials on to you, our valued clients, and you benefit from our buying power, as NZ's biggest buyer of Snow holidays to North America

You receive V.I.P. and Specialised Treatment

Dive Fish Snow Travel clients often receive preferential VIP treatment, especially when travelling on one of our group tours. There are sometimes hundreds of accommodation options to choose from, and quite often what looks like the best value, isn’t. We know the resorts and accommodation, what will suit you, what’s close to what, and we know where the best rooms are and we can get them for you. The Resorts and accommodations want our repeat business so they do their best to keep our clients happy, and you benefit from this, for free.

Going it alone

It is not cheaper. Often it is more expensive. By the time you add credit card fees, exchange rate issues, hidden taxes, plus your own time, it is usually more expensive than booking through us. And, how do you know if the resort you have chosen really is the best option for you? Everyone’s websites say they are “the best”, but are they really? We know the difference between each resort, and the advice and unbiased and objective advice we can give you just can’t be found on online. It comes from 20 years of experience.

Think about it: if you cut yourself badly you’d go to a professional (doctor) to be stitched up, not just any old place that has a needle and thread. Don’t let the Internet stitch you up – contact a professional snow holiday travel agent (that’s us)! Our service is free!

You wouldn’t take the risk of travelling overseas without travel insurance, would you?

Well, we are your insurance policy against anything going wrong on your holiday. One phone call to us and we can usually sort out most unexpected problems there and then. If you book a holiday yourself and it goes wrong, you are on your own – and that’s often not a comfortable place to be!

Located in the rugged Coast Mountains of British Columbia lies the vibrant village of Whistler. Serving as its backdrop are two huge mountains: Whistler and Blackcomb. Together they offer 8,100 acres of skiable terrain and more than 200 runs in every conceivable shape, size and level of difficulty.

When it comes to skiing and riding, Whistler Blackcomb has variety and then some. Choose from steeps, deeps, chutes, high alpine bowls, glades, superb corduroy, long cruisers, and gentle rollers. Riders and skiers will revel in the Parks & Pipes on both mountains plus natural launch pads, hits, wind-lips, cornices, cliff drops, and ridges - the place is like a huge, natural terrain park!

But Whistler doesn’t just finish when the lifts close. When you’ve explored the 8,000 plus acres of terrain on both mountains, head down to the valley and experience Village life. The picturesque pedestrian only village linking both mountains contains a thriving après ski scene accompanied by legendary nightlife, restaurants to suit every budget and craving, and shopping to satisfy even the most ardent.

Whistler's an adventure playground. Try your hand at the huge array of activities on offer. Heli-skiing, snowshoeing, snow-mobiling, backcountry and cat skiing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, tubing and even dog sledding make up just a fraction of what’s available.

With it’s world famous skiing and boarding, an unparalleled après scene, wide-ranging accommodations, rejuvenating spas, eclectic shopping, delicious dining and an activity list as long as your arm, it's easy to see why Whistler continues to be voted the number 1 ski resort in North America.

Hooked? Ask us about our Early Bird Whistler Specials including:
Stay 6 nights, pay for only 5
Stay 12 nights, pay for only 10
and the Kids Ski & Hire Free promotion.

Just a reminder that Dive Fish Snow Travel is open from 9am – 12.30pm on Saturday mornings. If you are planning to call in to see us, phone us for an appointment – just to ensure we don’t have 5 people all coming in at the same time!

Did you know we can arrange more than just skiing holidays? Our specialist travel consultants can arrange general holidays as well – especially cruises, the sporting and activity type holidays such as golf or rugby tours, South American or European adventures etc.

We don’t do “Gold Coast” type family holidays as so many other travel agents do and it is a very competitive market. Action holidays are what we know and do best, so that’s what we specialize in.
